THEC, Board of Trustees give go-ahead for UC additions

BRIAN HOLLAND

Executive Editor

Both the UT Board of Trustees and
the Tennessee Higher Education
Commission last week approved
UTM’s proposal for a S7.6 million
renovation to the UC.

The proposal now awaits approval
from the governor’s office, the Gen¬
eral Assembly and the State Build¬
ing Commission before the univer¬
sity can contract an architect for the
project, said Phil Dane, vice chancel¬
lor of Business and Finance.

“If history *s any indicator, it should
pass routinely.” he said.

If the proposal does pass, an archi¬
tect would be hired in either June or
July, and the project would be in the
planning phase for the next academic
year, Dane said.

Around September of 1996 a con-^
tractor would be hired, and construc¬
tion should begin around November.
The project should take about a year
to 18 months to complete, he said.

Because the UC is not an academic
building, UTM will have to come up
with the $7.6 million without state
funding.

To do this, the $45 debit service
fee that students pay each semester
will be increased by as much as $45
once the renovations are completed.

Dane said the additions being con¬

sidered include:

• an after-hours eatery.

• a room for the Cafe' House.

• a 1.200-seat auditorium.

• a fitness area.

• an area for the computer store.

• three cubicles to be used as retail
space for possibly a hair stylist,
printer or floral shop.

• office space for the SAC.

• an expansion of the cafeteria.

Members of the committee to over¬
see the expansion will meet again on
March 6 to begin working on space
descriptions, Dane said.

The committee should have a fi¬
nal space description draft ready by
the end of the semester, he said.

Students fall prey to prisoners 9 phone scam

SHANE MERCER

Copy Editor

Prison inmates have been calling
UTM dorm residents collect under
false pretenses, and. after (he
charges are accepted, asking that
their calls be transferred to another
rftom. Telecommunications Ac¬
counts Supervisor Cathy Brown
said.

Students who initially accept a
collect call will be billed for it even
alter it is transferred to another stu¬

dent.

Some students have been harassed
by those requesting to be transfered.

Phone harasment should be re¬
ported to Telephone Services and
Safety and Security, Brown said

The problem began this semester,
but no such calls have been reported
in the last week or so.

Most of the calls have been traced
to a prison in Feehold. N.J.

“It’s happening. I just hope we can
get it stopped before it gets to be a
big problem.” she said.

“A student (who transfers the col¬
lect calls) can become involved in
telephone fraud and not even know
it ”

There have been four reports of
this scam so far, but Brown said she
is sure there have been more that
have not been reported.

Students arc not to accept collect
calls under any circumstances.
Brown said. Those who do must pay
for the calls and a $20 fee Their
phone services may also be discon¬
nected.

Master plan prepares
UTM for 21st century

Growth abounds at UTM. Just take a look at the library, the new
parking lots, the fiber optics communications systems and the new water
chiller plant all put in place or begun in the last year.

UTM has answered the growing needs of its students and staff by
expanding and has recently revised its master plan for the campus to
tackle problems it will face in the years to come.

Because the Tennessee Higher Education Commission will not fund a

project unless it is on a

UTM revises its

foluffl l rcMymTi

' Plan will prepare
UTM for growth

university’s master plan, UTM
recently revised its plan, ensuring
readiness for possible expansion
when funds become available.

The new UTM Master Plan, just
approved by the UT Board of
Trustees, calls for an increase in
enrollment, an expansion of many
classroom and public buildings
and a landscaping upgrade,
including constructing a new entrance sign on Mt. Pelia Road.

These and other improvements are designed to benefit the students and
the members of the community who use these facilities. The plan is
forward-thinking, because when money becomes available for use. UTM
will be ready to implement the projects based on need. In fact, one of
those needs — the UC expansion — will begin specific planning in six
months.

As UTM embarks on further growth and sees'its plans unfold, we have
two words of caution for the administration:

• First, do not announce the earliest possible start and stop dates for
construction. In fact, when a contractor is hired, the completion date
written in the contract should be announced so there will be no question
as to when a project is to end. Then, if it’s finished early, students and
others will respect UTM for completion ahead of schedule. It’s a small
point, but it would eliminate a lot of the ill will associated with
construction projects.

• Second, make sure that as much of the campus as possible remains in
normal, working order as new construction is initiated. No more quad
fences (although that was unavoidable) and no more dislocated libraries.

We understand and have said before that students should expect to feel
the growing pains from new projects around campus. But. UTM officials
must go out of their way to make sure students are inconvenienced as
little as possible during construction periods. That way, students will be
as enthusiastic as the administration about seeing the campus improve

Regardless, the growth that UTM is feeling now will last well into the
next century and keep UTM moving onward and upward in educational
excellence.

Dear Editor,

Attention all greeks: It’s Feb. 23.

1995 — have you cleaned your high¬
way lately? On Feb. 18 we, the la¬
dies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
Inc., dedicated our Saturday mom-'’
ing to cleaning our adopted highway.
In our efforts in cleaning Highway
45. we noticed that it was littered with
unnecessary waste, such as bottles,
aluminum cans and paper. Although
construction may make it difficult to
clean the highway, it should not be a
hindrance.

We are challenging all greek letter
organizations that participate in the
Adopt-A-Highway program to play
their part and help keep our highways
litter free.

Dear Editor,

I find myself in a dilemma. My
nerves are on edge. I can’t sleep. 1
can’t eat — fortunately, I can still
drink. But, I just have to know —
skyhawks or wolfpack?

Aren’t you as tired of reporting
about it as I am of reading about it?
What’s wrong with the pacers? Sure,
it’s plain and most people don’t want
to wear a hat or sweatshirt with a pic¬
ture of a pacer on it, but how much
skyhawk or wolfpack merchandise
and attire is really going to sell? This
change is designed not only to draw
attention to the school, but you can
bet your autographed pictured Pacer
Pete and Polly that the real motive in
this change is the almighty dollar.

Speakingpf the dollar, how much
is this change going to cost? An even
more pressing question is how much
has it already cost?

I work at a private bar in Martin
where I come into contact with many
UTM alumni. I keep hearing the

same question over and over again:
Why is the college changing its mas¬
cot?

The most pressing and disturbing
question I have is wf\<5 thought up
these names? I have come to the con¬
clusion that it must be a proud owner
of a new Buick or someone who has
recently seen the new Jungle Book.

Whatever we do, let’s do it soon.
Why bother asking students which
they prefer? I seriously doubt our
opinion is going to make a difference
in the end. Just out of curiosity,
though, has anyone asked Colonel
Tom what he thinks?

Count your many blessings

S ome people say I smile too
much. :) (That is a com¬
puter smilie.)

But those people are usually
frowning as they say it. Cheer up,
friend.

We think our lives are hard, that
we are poor college students who
don't ever have money and who
never have time to have fun
because we have too much to
study because that stupid profes¬
sor thinks he is the only person
who puts demands on us, and
we’re late for band practice
because our 20 year-old car never
starts, and we don’t have lime to
eat, and our parents say we look
sick, and we’re late for the second

job and and and and.

SLOW DOWN A MINUTE!
Take a minute today to consider
what you have been given. For
starters, you have been given the
gift of life. That ought to make
you at least stop tripping over
your lower lip. Then the fact that
you have the privilege to be in
college bettering yourself ought to
at least make you look grim and
keep your lips from constantly
forming an upside-down semi¬
circle. Then, if you have one true
friend or one family member who
gives a rip about your life, you
ought to a least get past a smirk.

Those arc just
a few basic
things that you
have been given,
and 1 didn’t
even get
particular.

But it's so
easy to lose
perspective.

You see. we live
in a world that
lives on a “do
you want fries with that" schedule.
The marvelous technological
wonders that arc supposed to make
our lives easier seem only to make
us demand more and more things
from each other, as if we were all
ATM machines. Insta repon, insta
*$x, insta relationship ... insta.
q&Ck. now, pronto, let's go. -r
THERE IS EVEN A DEADLINE
ON THIS COLUMN!

We have become so smart we
hardly even need people. Those
stupid computerized answering
services are a great example.

Have you ever been frustrated
with one of those switchboards?

You talk to a machine for 10
minutes before you get a non-
digitized voice. When the real
voice comes on. you don’t know
what to do except press seven to
repeat the choices.

In this slep-on-you, run-over-
him, pass-on-thc-shoulder world
we live in. does anyone still care?

There is someone who cares,
and you can smile about that. For
starters, I care. If you can catch
me. I’ll be glad to talk to you
about life. But. of course, you'll
probably get my answering
machine. You see, I care, and I’m
writing this column to myself. The
pronoun “we" includes me.
Andrew, slow down and take time
for people.

But even if I am busy, I know
someone who won’t be. He has
been a friend through some of (he
roughest times in my life. I goto
him with everything. He listens,
and he cares. His name is Jesus
Christ. He won’t pul you on hold,
and he is never busy.

He is my friend, and he gives
me a reason to live.

And that, my fellow pacers —
or skyhawks, wolfs pack, bunch
of.wolves — whatever — that is
why I smile.

And I need that reminder today
— and every day.:)

SAC chair, Campus Rec officals attend entertainment conference

MATT MONTGOMERY

Associate News Editor

UTM’s representatives at the Na¬
tional Association of Campus Activi¬
ties Conference said it was worth the
trip, said David Belote. director of
Campus Recreation.

Heather Stigall. chair of the Stu¬
dent Activities Council; Richard
Schoeberl, director of Special Activi¬
ties; and Belote, all attended the con¬
ference last week in Anaheim, Calif.

"There were a lot of great work¬

shops and promotions," he said. “The
convention attracted professional
people who work for universities and
colleges directing student activities
on campus."

The conference was composed of
three elements: educational, viewing
entertainment and the exhibit hall.
Belote said.

The educational component dealt
with issues, promotion, leadership,
volunteering and diversity; Viewing
entertainment involved seeing main-
stage showcases (masters of ceremo¬

nies), lecture showcases, comedy
acts, musical acts and film screen¬
ings. The exhibit hall, which had
about 180 exhibitors, allowed con¬
ference attendees to visually meet the
agents, select dates and purchase en¬
tertainment.

"Some schools are so organized
that they will send delegates with
dates ready to do business. We were
trying to prepare Heather for what
she was getting into. We watched her
grow and mature throughout the con¬
ference. That’s what 1 wanted to have
happen, and that’s what 1 saw,"
Belote said.

UTM’s delegates split responsibili¬

ties at the conference, Belote said.
Stigall went to sessions dealing with
the management of an activities
council. Schoeberl concentrated on
leadership and orientation processes
for the SAC and Belote attended
leadership and research sessions.

The conference was a chance for
Stigall to establish contacts with re¬
gional schools such as Austin Peay
State, Murray State and Middle Ten¬
nessee State universities, Belote said.

“The advantage of networking
with other schools in the region is
cost," Belote said. "If an act can play
several schools in one area, both its
costs and our costs will go down. If

costs are cut, that would lead to more
entertainment."

"This trip was a good way of get¬
ting Heather in the network pool."
Schoeberl said.

“It was really enlightening," Stigall
said. "Other schools are going to send
us information about what has
worked on their campuses."

Schoeberl has been establish a
library with books and files about ev¬
erything from comedy to novelty
acts.

This is to help campus officials
find information on entertainment
and to get on mailing lists that offer
materials to aid in promotions.

Mascot decisions may be made next week

BRIAN HOLLAND

Executive Editor

The mascot committee should
make a decision on what the new
mascot will be and narrow down the
choices for the new logo at its meet¬
ing Wednesday, said Director of
University Relations Bud Grimes,
co-chair of the committee.

The committee will meet with
representatives from the Nashville
public relations firm Dye Van Mol
& Lawrence at 2:30 |>.m. in 204 UC
to look over logo and typographi¬
cal recommendations for the names
skyhawks and wolfpack. The typo¬

graphical representation has to do
with the typestyle in which the logo
name is written. %

“We’ll look at some logos and ty¬
pographical treatment of the names
for both the skyhawks and the
wolfpack," Grimes said. "We’ll
probably see (mascot) renditions for
the two — definitely the skyhawks;
I think that’s certainly emerging as
the favorite."

The firm presented preliminary
logo ideas by fax to four committee
members Friday, Grimes said, and
of those choices the members con¬
sidered two or three strong possibili¬
ties.

The committee members chose
what they considered some of the
better choices and told the firm to
further develop and present them at
the meeting.

"1 suspect they’ll be a lot of dis¬
cussion at this meeting," Grimes
said. *T think there are going to be
final decisions made at that point. (
think we’re going to come out with
a definite name and probably a pretty
good idea of the logo and the typog¬
raphy to go withit. It think (we) will
really zero in and answer some of the
questions people have."

The meeting will be open to the
public.

Campus Crime

‘Prank’ gets out of hand when students
allegedly try to abduct^sle^ping friend

BRIAN HOLLAND

Executive Editor

Three UTM students were arrested
and charged with reckless endanger-
ment Friday when an alleged plan to
play a prank on a fraternity brother
went awry.

According to UTM police reports.
Joel Woodard, a sophomore Natural
Resource Management major from
Lyles. Tenn.; James Corlew, a fresh¬
man Arts and Sciences major from
Charlotte. Tdnn.; and Shad Adams, a
junior Business Administration ma¬
jor from Collierville, Tenn.. were ar-
resled in the early morning hours af¬
ter (hey were accused of unsuccess¬
fully attempting to restrain and gag
Louis Ragsdale, a sophomore Arts
and Sciences major from Memphis,
in his room in Atrium Hall. The sus¬
pects fled when he resisted and be¬
gan screaming.

The three students were appre¬
hended by UTM police officer
Charles Coleman, who reportedly
observed them running down the
southeast stairwell in Atrium.
Coleman was reportedly responding
to a disturbance complaint from one
of Ragsdale’s suilemates, who re¬
ported hearing screams from
Ragsdale's room.

Officer Coleman went to
Ragsdale’s room where Ragsdale
told him he had been assaulted while
he was asleep by three males wear¬
ing hoods, reports say. Officer
Coleman indicated Ragsdale was
bleeding from the lower lip from an

injury Ragsdale said he sustained
during the assault.

According to reports. Woodard.
Corlew and Adams were taken to
UTM police headquarters in Cooper
Hall, where they waived their
Miranda rights and told UTM police
they had assaulted Ragsdale. The
suspects said it was intended only to
be the latest in a series of practical
jokes being played on one another.

The-three students, all members of
the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, report¬
edly told officers they had planned
to get revenge on Ragsdale, also a
member of Pi Kappa Alpha, because
he had given fraternity members
cookies that contained laxatives.

According to their statement to
UTM police, the three had planned
to enter Ragsdale’s unlocked room,
blindfold and gag him, tape his arms

and legs together, carry him to one
of their picjj.*ups and drive him
around foc/fO-15 minutes to disori- '
ent him. they planned to then place '
him in the biifches. in Atrium, cover
his hair with petroleum jelly, write
on his face with magic markers, take
pictures of him and then release him.

But. according to reports, the plan
failed when they were unable to re¬
strain Ragsdale, and they then fled
after he began screaming.'

According to reports, Ragsdale.

. who told officers he feared for his life
when he was first assaulted, did not
want to press charges after learning
the identity of the subjects.

Reports say Officer Coleman esti¬
mated the plan could have been life
threatening if it was carried out.

The three face a March 29 Gen¬
eral Sessions Court date in Dresden

Woods consented to have UTM po¬
lice and MPD officers search his car

edly recovered three additional wkF
lets, all of which were traced to UTM
students.

of the four wallets were reported sto¬
len at the main arena of Elam Cen¬
ter. The two other students were con¬
tacted. and said they also lost their
wallets at Elam Center.

Three SGA representatives will be
in Nashville next week to lobby a bill
that would give voting rights to the
student representative on the Tennes¬
see Higher Education Commission.

Currently, a student from UTM.
UTK, UTC and UT Memphis rotates
a one-year term on the THEC ev / ery

rights.

Under the bill, developed by the
student governments of the four cam¬
puses, two students would each serve
two-year staggered terms, and the
student serving his or her second year
would have voting rights.

Four SGA representatives will join
student government representatives

from the other three campuses in
meeting with members of the House
and Senate to push the bill.

SGA Cabinet members Cherie
Gillespie. Frank Stevenson, Cynthia
Alexander and Michael Cardwell
will also attend a breakfast with Rep.
Roy Herron and other members of
the West Tennessee caucus Tuesday
to try to gain support for the bill.

“The purpose of this (breakfast) is
to introduce them to the THEC bill
and to talk up UT Martin, since they
are West Tennessee representatives,’’
Gillespie said.

On Wednesday, the students will
be having meetings with members of
the House and Senate

Fudge Muffin brings misfit attitude,
different style to UTM music scene

JERIANNE THOMPSON

Managing Editor

“Hi, we’re Fudge Muffin. We’re
better than a cookie, but not quite a
cake."

That’s how singer/guitarist
Nathan Waddell starts every Fudge
MufTin show, and it k serves for an
adequate description of the band,
one of the newest in Martin. Just as
a “fudge muffin” doesn’t fit into
either the cookie or cake category,
the band members say they don’t
really fit in either.

"We’re a collection of people
who don’t fit, but when we’re
together, we fit. We all fit 'cause
wt don’t fit. It’s a unifying ele¬
ment," said Nathan, a freshman
Guitar major from Memphis.

Molly Young, a freshman
Elementary Education major from
Memphis, plays bass, and Mark
Harris, who attends Bethel College,
plays drums.

“We’re named Fudge Muffin
because there is no such thing. That
pretty much says it all,” Nathan
said.

Nathan and Molly first met
during Freshman Studies week last
fall.

“I found out that she played
guitar, which I thought was
unusual. We clicked from the first
time we played together,” Nathan
said.

After a few months of “goofing *
around,” they decided to get a
drummer and start a band. Enter
Mark — a friend of Nathan’s suite-
male.

“The first time we played
together, the magic was there,"
Nathan said. "Mark is an incredible
drummer. He has the same passion
for music as I do.”

“We all grew up somehow kind *
of estranged, yet we all feel the
same way, been through the same
stuff. Mark’s not an exception to
that."

Fudge Muffin's show generally
consists of originals, with a few
cover songs by artists such as
Nirvana and Jimmy Hendrix.

"Our songs are in the style of
Nirvana, kind of post-punk,
modem, alternative.” Nathan said.

Their most popular song is
“Cigarettes and Coffee," he said.
Other originals include “I Like,”
“Invisible Man” and “Whisper Me,
Whisper You.”

“We play weird stuff, stuff
people don't really listen to, like
‘Pay^Nc Mind’ by Beck," Molly
said.

“We like to play songs that

people don’t listen to. We’re a B-
side band.” Nathan said. “I think
some of the best songs I’ve heard
arc songs by popular artists that
people don’t really listen to.”

Just because they play cover
songs doesn’t mean that people
should expect to hear exactly what
they’ve heard on the radio, Nathan
said.

* “People like to take songs we’re
singing and say they should sound
more like the original band.
They’re used to hearing Felix, but
where we’re coming from is totally
different,” he said.

“The most important thing about
a song isn’t the group but the
music, the emotion behind it.

66 I would love to
reach out to every kid
who's ever said to
themselves, ‘I'm not
like everyone else. I'm
different,' and let
them know there's
someone else out
there like him. ^ ^

Nathan Waddell

singer/guitarist

“I think people should open their
ears more and listen to Fudge
Muffin, the way we play a song.
Like ‘Rain Cries Mary’ by
Hendrix. I feel the pain he has, and
when I play it, it’s not only his
song, but it’s my pain added.”

4 “I think we’re very spontane¬
ous," Molly said. “Well, Nathan is.
He screws up, and I have to
follow."

“In the middle of the song I feel
like it needs to change, to go
another way,” Nathan said. “Molly
has a hard time following along."

“Yeah, I actually have to pay
attention,” she said. 4

"You’ll never see the same show,
even if we play the same songs. It
comes out a different way," Nathan
said. “I play for myself; everyone
else does, too.

“Each of my songs is a personal
thing that I’m sharing with the
audience. For me, it’s secondary
that they’re there. If they weren’t.
I’d go on playing anyway.”

So far. Fudge Muffin has played
two shows at the Cafe' House and
even a show at the New Daisy on
Beale Street in Memphis.

“We just called them up and
asked if we could play.” Nathan
said. “I don’t know what to say
about it. That was the first time I
had shared my music with that
many people. There were quite a
few there. I was real nervous.”

“That was so much fun. There
were four bands, and we were the
last one. It was quite an experience.
One guy even got up and was slam¬
dancing by himself,” Molly said.

“We got a positive reaction. If it
had been negative, I don’t think I’d
be in a band right now,” Nathan
said.

Fudge Muffin plans to play at
more Cafe' House shows during
the semester and is trying to play at
frat houses. In addition, Fudge
Muffin is working on a demo
album.

“We’ve made an album. We’d
like to polish it up and sell it at the
Cafe' House. And we’d like to
encourage others to sell theirs. We
need support to keep things going.”
Nathan said.

Fudge Muffin doesn't really fit in
with the other bands here in Martin,
Nathan said.

“Other bands support us some¬
what, not as much as I would like. I
make a point of going to.every one
of Felix’s shows; to every Cafe'
House,” he said.

“Musically, none of those bands
know where we’re coming from.
They’re all older than us, loo. That
probably makes a difference.

“Molly comes from a heavy
metal background. I’m very
alternative. My milsic was music
that people never really accepted,
like me.”

And when it comes to his music.
Nathan has a lot to say.

“I think Kurt Cobain said it best
— ‘Teenage angst has paid off
well. Now I’m bored and old.’
Really, commercial music has taken
the trend and turned it into ‘jump
on the bandwagon and be cool.’

The music itself, when it was fresh
and new was cool. Now it’s starting
to lose it’s point. It’s just vague
lyrics and flannel.

“What it’s about is that our
generation is growing up and
finding out that what we have
waiting for us is nothing like what
our parents had waiting for them.

“For them it was 2.5 kids and a
car in the garage. Bor us it’s AIDS
and the federal deficit. We’re all in
despair, in shock, trying to reach
out to each other and say, ‘it’s OK,

I know how you feel,’” Nathan
said.

“F— the machine — the system

created for a kfd to grow up, get a
job, work and.die. Don’t let it get
you down. For now we can’t
change it; maybe one day we will.

“Don’t let it get you down. Be
you. even if you are an outcast,
loser, irresponsible bum. Be you
and be proud. Cause there’s no one

know there’s someone else out
there like him,” Nathan said.

“I wanna inspire some kid to pick
up a guitar and play, just like
Jimmy Hendrix and all my other
heroes did. And, of course, fame
and fortune would be dice.”

“We’d like to get where we’d be

FIT-IN OR NOT — Fudge Muffin band members Nathan Waddell

in Memphis this summer. Photo by Jerianne Thompson

else like you in the entire world."

For Molly, being a female
guitarist has presented some
uncomfortable situations.

“It really bugs me. People say,
‘She’s good for a girl ’ 1 hate that. I
wanna be good for a bass player or
whatever instrument I’m playing,”
she^aid.

"And feminists come up to me
and say, ‘You’re doing good for the
women’s movement.’ I don’t care
about that. I’m a musician. I get up
there to play, not to say, ‘I’m a girl,
look at me.”*

The members of Fudge Muffin ,
have started to set goals for the ^
future.

“I would love to reach out to
every kid who’s^ver said to
themselves. ‘I’m not like everyone
else. I’m different,’ and let them

famous or we’d be playing for so
many people and making them
happy by our music. If that makes
them happy, I know I’m doing my
job," Molly said.

Nearer in the future. Fudge
Muffin plans to play several shows
in various clubs in Memphis this
summer.

"We have three dates tentatively
scheduled at the New Daisy the
second Wednesday of each month
of the summer." Nathan said.

“Look for us in your nearest
convenience store."

“Yeah, in the muffin aisle,"
Molly said.

We are looking for more bands
to spotlight. If you are in a band
that would like publicity, call us
at 7780 or 7782.

provided them with data on enroll¬
ment; square footage; conditions of
the infrastructures, chillers. HVAC
units; everything. They ran it through
their growth models and came back
with a number of recommendations.
The ones we agreed to were summa¬
rized in the master plan."

The recommended
projects wefe divided into
four phases: Phase I, Phase
II, Phase III and Future
Phase, w ith Phase I projects
being the first priority.

"Phase I projects need to
be done as soon as we can
get the money together.

These are things that need
to be done under the current
enrollment conditions.

Phase II projects, If we lake
on very much growth at all,
need to be done. They
aren’t very pressing right
now. Phase ID goes beyond
that. If the enrollment
grows to 7,500 FTE, then the Future
Phase comes into play," Dane said.-

One of the Phase 1 projects is the
construction of.a gateway entry fea¬
ture arournj the intersection of Uni¬
versity Street and Mt. Pelia Road.
Concept drawings picture the gate¬
way as a curved wall reading "Uni¬
versity of Tennessee at Martin" with
two pillars on each end of the wall,
with one wall on each side of Uni¬
versity Street, forming a broken

circle.

"We need to get more details on
the green space improvements, which
are included in every phase. One
thing they (the architects) pointed out
was that the pedestrian: on this cam¬
pus have an appreciation for the

beauty of the campus. They felt we
need to introduce this landscaping to
the main thoroughfares, such as by
trees planted along the major roads
to campus. We have not yet decided
which we want to do first," he said.

The recommended green space
improvements include constructing
ponds at the intersections of Univer¬
sity Street and Highway 45 and at
University Street and Mt. Pelia Road,
planting trees throughout the campus.

building a sculpture plaza between
Cooper Hall and Clement Hall and,
building a clocktower plaza between
Ellington and McCord halls.

"The clocktower and sculpture pla¬
zas call for an elimination of park¬
ing." Dane said. "That isn’t going to
happen in the near future,
only in relation to other
parking lots being built "
The projects are also
categorized by the fund¬
ing (hat would pay for
them. Those classified as
coming fifom state funds,
such as building renova¬
tions. depend on funding
available from the state.

"The word from Nash¬
ville is that there probably
won’t be any major
projects funded next year
because of the light bud¬
get. That kind of pushes
everything back. So a
project you might have
been planning on for three years from
now may not get started until four
years from now,’’/Dane said. "That
means we will probably have to wait
on the Brehm Hall renovations."

Projects classified under "other
funding" are funded by sources other
than the state.

“In those cases, we have more con¬
trol over when they happen. It’s up
to local priorities as to when they will
happen," he said.

Hart paces UTM in

EKU on top
of OVC with
victory over
Lady Pacers

ANDRE* JOHNSON

Sports Editor

Eastern Kentucky University
was too much for coach Sharman
Coley's squad Saturday night as
the Lady Pacers suffered its sec¬
ond loss to the Lady Colonels this
season, 83-75, at Elam Center.

With the win over UTM and
Tennessee State’s win over Ten¬
nessee Tech Saturday, EKU took
over the top spot in the OVC
standings as it posted a record of
17-6 overall and 11-3 in OVC
play.

Guard Kim Mayes ot EKU led
the Lady Colonels with a game-
high 28 points and six steals. Four
Lady Pacers scored in double fig¬
ures. including senior guard Tara
Tansil, who led the way with 15
points.

Tansil. who has played the en¬
tire game several times this sea¬
son, became acquainted with the
bench, as she saw only 20 min¬
utes of action Saturday night.

UTM shot 48 percent from the
field in the first half, and EKU
shot 42 percent, but attempted
three more shots than the Lady
Pacers and held a halftime lead of*
36-33.

UTM began the second half
differently as it tied the score at
36-36 with 19:48 remaining.

The Lady Pacers jumped ahead,
40-38, with 17:15 left to play off
of Katina Jones’ jumper. x

UTM held its lead over EKU
for just more than three minutes,
but the Lady Colonels stormed
back to take a 57-56 advantage
with 9:52 left to play.

EKU did not trail the remain¬
der of the way and increased its
lead to as many as eight points
with just under five minutes re¬
maining.

UTM pulled to within four
points, 79-75, with 1:04 left off
of Julianne Coleman’s jumper, but
the Lady Colonels sank clutch
free throws to seal the victory.

Junior forward Chanda
Cordova, who returned to action
following illness, did not start the
game, but still finished second in
scoring with 13 points in 20 min¬
utes.

\<Lln«>ther UTM women’s bas¬
ketball action, the Lady Pacers de¬
feated Morehead State. 78-61, in
the last home game of the season

Eastern Kentucky University came
to Elam Center in-search of a sweep
Saturday night against UTM, but the
Pacers had plans of their own as they
played two exciting halves winning
impressively, 85-79.

UTM won for the second consecu¬
tive time and captured its sixth win
on the year, one more than last year's
campaign.

The Pacers got a remarkable effort
from junior college transfer forward
Michael Hart, who scored a team-
high 29 points and played the entire
contest. Hart continues to lead the
Pacers in scoring, averaging 20.3
PPg

“This was one of our best games
of the year. I really hit the boards

It was close throughout the first 20
minutes, but things fell apart for the
Austin Peay State Lady Governors.

UTM’t Tara Tansil spoiled the
Lady Governors hopes of a season
sweep with a team-high 18 points in
a 76-65 victory last Thursday night
at Elam Center. Thursday's win was
the second in three games for the
Lady Pacers.

Things began to get away from

hard, and Pooh’ (DeWaync Powell)
and DeMarko (Wright) played an
excellent game tonight," Hart said.
"Once I got going, I felt like I was
unstoppable. This game pretty much
came to me"

UTM scored the game’s first
points off a three-pointer by Wright.

The Colonels led only once dur¬
ing the entire game, 4-3, but pro¬
duced several huge runs, which UTM
answered.

The Pacers jumped to an 18-8 ad¬
vantage with 11:43 remaining in the
first half because of turnovers and
poor shooting by EKU. Wright was
involved in the Pacers’ offense early
as he converted a three-point play
with 7:45 remaining to put UTM on
lop, 25-14.

EKU ran off five straight points to
narrow the gap to 25-J9, but Wright

Austin Peay Stale in the second half
as UTM’s Christy Hicks nailed a
jumper to give UTM a 56-47 lead
midway through die second half. The
closest APSU came was within three
points, 59-56, with just under five
minutes remaining, but the Lady Pac¬
ers responded and put the contest out
of reach.

UTM forward Catina Jones scored
14 points for the Lady Pacers.

UP, UP AND AWAY I — UTM’s Michael Hart attempts a shot over
Eastern Kentucky’s center Curtis Fincher (55) during an OVC show¬
down last Saturday at Elam Center. Hart scored a team-high 29
points, as UTM won, 85^0.

Tansil, Lady Pacers beat APSU, 76-65

victory over EKU

was unstoppable as he continued to
bury nearly every shot he attempted.
UTM shot 57 percent from the field
and held its largest advantage of the
first half, 37-25.

Powell nailed a jumper to end the
half as UTM led the Colonels, 39-
30.

The Pacers began the second half
where they left off as Powell and for¬
ward Jim Locum nailed back-to-back
three-pointers to increase UTM’s
lead to 42-30.

EKU then produced a run for five
points to narrow UTM’s margin to
45-35, but Wright connected for an¬
other thrc$ : point play on the Pacers’
next possession.

UTM kept its momentum as it led,
55-41, with 13:25 remaining in the
game, but tho Colonels kept their
hopes alive as they rallied to within

seven on forward DcMarkus Doss’
reverse dunk.

After trailing by as many as 15
early in the second half. EKU came
back to narrow the gap as UTM led
by only two points, 55-53, with 10:50
remaining in the game. j

The Pacers answered EKU’s run
as they went.on a 12-5 run to lead
67-58 with just under five minutes
remaining.

Guard Marlon Stewart, who fin¬
ished with a team-high 27 points tor
the Colonels, shot well and kept his
club in the game.

UTM led, 71-70. with 2:40 left
wheh Powell nailed a desperation
three-pointer to increase the Pacers’
advantage to 74-70.

The game looked like it would be
a nip-and-tuck battle, but it turned
into a game of offensive runs as the
Pacers defeated the Austin Peay Stale
University Governors, 64-55, last
Thursday at Elam Center.

DeWayne "Pooh" Powell, UTM’s
second-leading scorer, led the Pac¬
ers with 20 points, four assists and
four steals. He shot 6-of-8 fronvthe
field, including 3-of-4 three pointers,
and 5-of-6 from the free throw line.

UTM’s leading scorer, Michael
Hart, who was averaging 18.3 ppg.,
pitched in with 19 points shooting 8-
of-16 in the victory.

The Pacers kept the game close
early, before taking their first lead on
Powell's layup with 3:48 remaining
in the first half. A three-pointer by
Powell with 53 seconds remaining
capped a 17-7 run by the Pacers to
give them a 31-27 half-time lead.

UTM shot 52 percent in the first
half, including 4-of-7 from three-

point range. APSU shot cold, at 31
percent, and hit just 3-of-ll three-
point field goals.

Bubba Wells, who had 20 points
and seven rebounds, led the Gover¬
nors’ attack.

UTM came out shooting well in the
second half as it went on an 8-2 run
to stretch its lead to 39-29. But the
Pacers cooled off quickly, shooting
just 36 percent in the second half,
allowing APSU to manufacture a 10- ,

0 run and take a one-point lead with
8:36 remaining in the game.

The Pacers hung tough, battling
back to take the lead for good on a
layup by Ryan Burge with 3:32 left
in the game. Burge’s shot was part
of a 16-5 run by UTM that sealed the
victory.

Foul shots and three-point shoot¬
ing ^yed large roles in the victory.
Unconnected on 73 percent of its
free throws and almost 40 percent of
its three-point attempts.

APSU shot only 61 percent from
the line and hit only 19 percent of its
three-point attempts
